It shouldn't be too difficult to port the changes to an August kernel. It is possible that this commit might fix the problem, but I'm fairly skeptical. It would probably be wise to wait and see if someone who is running up-to-date -current and was having the inetd problem can do some testing first. If the problem persists for them, then you'll save some porting work. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
